Hammoud won with more than 70 percent of the votes in his bid against challenger Nagi Almudhegi.
Dearborn voters have elected Mayor Abdullah Hammoud for a second term.
Hammoud won with more than 70% of the votes in his bid against challenger Nagi Almudhegi.
He told a crowd of about 250 people at the Bint Jebail Cultural Center Tuesday night that the city is built on coexistence across faiths, backgrounds, and political views.
“To our Arab American community, to our Polish, Irish, and Italian American families, to every new neighbor and every long time resident, white, Black or brown, to every faith and every background, Dearborn is a place where you are seen, where you are valued, and where you belong.”
Hammoud became the city’s first Arab American and Muslim mayor in 2021 after mobilizing volunteers for clean-up efforts from catastrophic floods.
Hammoud ran on a bid to continue the work he started four years ago. He said, “The way to win re-election campaigns is to treat people with dignity, to meet them in their homes and in their communities, listen to their needs, and deliver change that their families can see and can feel. That’s what we’re doing in Dearborn.”
Also in Dearborn, voters overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to create a ward system for districted city council seats.
